I've just been trying to upgrade a PowerMacintosh 8600/200 from System
7.5.5 to System 7.6. When I try to start the  8600 from the 7.6 CD-ROM
(holding down the C key whilst restarting) I get the following message:

        This startup disk will not work on this
        Macintosh model. Use the latest Installer
        to update this disk for this model.          Restart.

Can anyone help me? The 8600 is currently running a running a very pure
System 7.5.5 (but it was supplied without the 7.5.5 CD)

I'll call the supplier's tech support later in the week when I can, and
Apple if I really have to :-(, but I thought I'd also presume upon the mass
net-tech know-how reserves for a quicker (and probably more useful) answer.

TIA
